Did Mike Tyson Just Confirm the Floyd Mayweather Fight?

Curiosity always wins.

Tyson recently joined Mike Babcock on TMZ Sports Open Mike and didn’t leave much room for doubt when asked about the fight.

“Yeah, it’s happening. Sh*t, yeah, it’s happening,” Tyson said. “You think I’d give that up? I was minding my business. He challenged me.”

That alone is enough to keep the conversation alive.

The former heavyweight champion has remained active in exhibition talks in recent years, so the idea of another high-profile event isn’t completely out of left field. Tyson also gave an update on how he’s feeling physically. “Incredible. Listen, I was wearing an extra large.

It looks like I’m about to wear a large now.” At 59, that kind of confidence — and conditioning — is going to fuel speculation even more.

Here’s the reality. While our stomach might turn a little when fight week rolls around, fans usually come around. Not because it makes perfect sense competitively. But because it’s Tyson and Mayweather. That alone commands attention. People will want to see how it looks. How it feels. How it actually goes down.

The real swing factor? Pay-per-view.

If this lands behind a hefty PPV price tag, hesitation grows. If it’s priced smart — or finds a broader platform like Netflix — the tune-in factor spikes overnight. Boxing fans may question it. They may critique it. But when the bell rings, most of us will at least take a peek.
